Style Highlights: Lara Stone

I've posted about Lara Stone before but never about her clothing off the runway. I know. I know. How silly of me. Models have lives outside of fashion week and Marc Jacob's ads. And Lara Stone is no exception.

Metallics are so beautiful...when done right. Lara has a unique sort of beauty that I think is really healthy for girls to see. She  is a cookie cutter but she is one of the most stunning women. This look is simplistic but Lara has the confidence to pull it off. Brava.

Sigh. This color is to die for. The way that it makes her skin glow is breath-taking. And showing off a bit of leg doesn't hurt too. The high pony was also a highlight for me [slight pun intended] because it was just so fashion and yet it looked completely effortless.

Lara loves her Calvin Klein. The simplistic cut and shiny fabric was the perfect choice. She looks so confident and beautiful. Although I'm not in love with her shoes, I do realize that Lara is a fan of the strappy heel while I'm a chunky pump kind of girl. Personal preference.

Lara looks stunning metallics...again. The detailing on this dress is just...so beautiful and delicate. The cinched waist is stunning. The loose flowing hair is perfection. I adore this look...except for the shoes. But everything else is so incredibly stunning that those white shoes don't bother me. Magnificent!

Thank you for reading! Leave any suggestions in the comments below! And don't forget to follow this blog or check out my second blog for movie and book reviews. I'm working hard to build my second blog so that it is as strong, if not strong, than my main blog. Ambitious, I know.

The Lara Stone Age

Lara Stone. The name holds big weight in the fashion industry. For those who might be unfmailiar with her work, she is a Dutch model who has graced runways all around the world. There was a bit controvesy a few months ago in Australia after her ad for Calvin Klein Jeans was banned because it was "suggestive of rape and violence".

What do you think? But Calvin Klein ad aside, there is no denying that Lara Stone is a force on the runway.

I adore Lara's look. Her pale blonde hair. Her gap. Her wobbly walk. Her uber confidence. In stills Lara looks so sure of herself but when she was interviewed by Vogue Paris, Lara was reported of saying that she does not like runway. That with her small feet she's always afraid of falling and as she's walking she thinks to herself, "Do not fall, do not fall."

What do you think of Lara Stone? Does she deserve the title of 'one of the best models of the past decade'? Your thoughts and opinions are wanted and appreciated! :)
